1/9/10

May did not go school on acct of storm. Went home in P.M. Sam got through at hotel. Was over home. Mended in eve. Fixed May's serge dress.

Note: Sam is Ada's uncle - her mother's brother. I'm not sure what it was but I think something is "not right" with him. Maybe simple or perhaps eccentric? There are just hints that something is off. He lived with his sister until he died (many years later.)
